Question: Asalamualykum What is the Fatwa regarding the watching of Television? Shukran

Answered by:
Sheikh `Abd al-Wahhâb al-Turayrî
Former Professor at Imam University

The ruling for watching television depends upon what is being viewed.

If the viewer is watching unlawful images or programs with an un-Islamic content then it is unlawful for him to do so. On the other hand, if he watches permissible programs such as educational programs or the news, then it is lawful.

Cartoons have nearly the same ruling: If they contain unlawful scenes, then it is forbidden to watch them; otherwise watching them is permissible.

And Allah knows best.
